Somebody scream

Without giving away anything from my forthcoming New Yorker review of Rheingold at the Met, I'd like to join the chorus of praise for the bass-baritone Eric Owens, who, on Monday night, gave a tremendous performance as Alberich, lord of the dwarves. So, how does a man unwind after forging the dread ring that masters the world and enslaves its wearer? The video above tells all. This, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call range.
